Itinerary
Few buildings in the world carry the weight of St. Peter's Basilica. Standing at the heart of Vatican City, it is simultaneously the spiritual centre of the Catholic Church, the largest Christian church ever built, and one of the most audacious architectural undertakings in human history. To walk across the travertine stones of St. Peter's Square and approach that vast façade is to feel centuries of ambition pressing against the Roman sky.
Bypass the long general admission lines outside and head straight inside St. Peter’s Basilica with exclusive skip-the-line access. Once inside, you will use your smartphone to download the digital audio guide, put in your headphones, and explore the subterranean Vatican Grottoes entirely at your own comfortable pace.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
